Passion fruit, a climbing vine, is a versatile crop whose demand is growing in both export and domestic markets.
The fruit can be eaten fresh or consumed after extracting the pulp and making juice.
The juice is used in a variety of products and the pulp may be added to different dishes. A wide range of cosmetic products and food flavours are derived from the fruit that is rich in Vitamins A and C and carotene.
Varieties
Yellow and purple types exist. Purple varieties do better at higher altitudes than the yellow types. Yellow types, on the other hand, tend to yield higher and are more resistant to diseases.
The purple variety is acidic, varies in taste and juiciness with intense aromatic scent and round in shape. The yellow variety is bigger, with similar taste but possibly less aromatic, more acidic and is also round in shape.
Both varieties are green before ripening, and they are grown for commercial and domestic purposes.
